Description
A new translation of one of China's greatest koan collections is now available. David Hinton's radical reworking of the Wu-Men Kuan reveals a literary and philosophical masterpiece that transcends its association with Chan/Zen. For nearly eight hundred years, this text has been the most widely used koan collection in Zen Buddhism, thanks to its comic storytelling and wild poetry. In his translation, Hinton places the book within its native Chinese philosophical framework, transforming "Zen perplexity" into a more approachable and earthy mystery. With poetic abilities honed through many translations, Hinton conveys the book's literary power, making it an irresistible reading experience that can surprise readers into a sudden awakening beyond logic and explanation.
